(Fortunately, I have a very strong heresy filter that I've developed studying the writings of the Saints, Tradition, and the CCC). <BR/><BR/>"Sister" Edith is the 2nd on the list of most hated people in the Archdiocese of LA in my opinion, we all know who the first is.<BR/><BR/>Teach actual catechsim and you're kicked out of the local Church for being "too conservative"Joe of St. Thérèsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06506671882770822003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-40422873841519998312008-03-14T19:22:00.000-05:002008-03-14T19:22:00.000-05:00I just re-read Morwood's account of his being call...I just re-read Morwood's account of his being called to account by (then) Archbishop (now Cardinal) Pell. <BR/><BR/>Morwood says that Abp Pell summoned him and handed him a 10-page memorandum setting out his doctrinal errors, and said he would be banned from speaking at a Catholic Education Conference the next week. He gave Morwood a week to set out his defence to the charges, and said that at the end of that week, the Archdiocese would be releasing (by way of press statement) its finding of doctrinal error.<BR/><BR/>Now, this former MSC has been crying like a little girl for 10 years that Archbishop Pell didn't follow CDF procedures, etc etc etc. He claims that Pell pretty much told him that he didn't care what the pencil-necks in the theology faculties said, Pell was the Archbishop, and he knew error when he saw it!<BR/><BR/>Like a lot of people, I'm bloody glad His Grace jumped on this quickly. When these people release heretical books, they need to be slapped down by the Magesterium straight away. Farting around with CDF theological "experts" for 10 years, to work out whether a heretic is in fact a heretic, and offer him opportunities to retract etc, is too dangerous to the faith in the age of instant communications.<BR/><BR/>Morwood says:<BR/><BR/>"What Pell does is quote the Catechism of the Catholic Church again and again. Proof-text stuff. And full of scriptural and theological literalism. Subsequent events would show Pell’s total inability to move beyond the security of <B>quoting the Catechism [pretty good way of working out whether someone is a heretic, if you ask me]</B>. He demanded <B>absolute, unquestioning assent to what he could quote as "church teaching" [YAY!!]</B> and showed himself incapable of engaging in conversation about events and worldviews that shaped dogmatic thought in the early centuries <B>[I think this means "heresies condemned by the early Church"]</B>."<BR/><BR/>Archbishop Pell said of Morwood's work "It impugned the divinity of Christ. Behind the affirmation of the existence of God, there's nothing more central to Catholicism than the divinity of Christ, and his redemptive activity. I mean Christ didn't die to give us a good example. Christ died to - so that our sins could be forgiven."<BR/><BR/>So this guy is teaching Catechists in the US? What the hell (literally!) is Mahony thinking?!?!? <BR/><BR/>If I remember correctly, Mahony will be able to continue spreading his poison in California until 2011. It just shows the terrible damage that can be done by bad bishops. Good bishops, like Cardinal Pell, are few and far between. <BR/><BR/>Actually, when Pell was first promoted to Melbourne, one of those femo-marxist-pseudo-Catholic academics said on the far-left-public-broadcaster the ABC "Archbishop Pell is very interesting to a lot of blokes I talk to. They find him interesting I think because he’s a big bloke, he’s having a stoush, they like that sort of thing, that getting above the crowd, knocking down the ratbags, whatever.". She then goes on to say that as a woman, she finds that a "turn off". Well, lady, we need a few thousand more "big blokes knocking down the ratbags" if you ask me. <BR/><BR/>The feminists and professional fudge packers hate him with a passion. So he must be doing something right.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10823532459943232657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18853193.post-65837580468740021032008-03-14T17:49:00.000-05:002008-03-14T17:49:00.000-05:00VSO,You shouldn't be so critial of Catholicism ove...VSO,<BR/>You shouldn't be so critial of Catholicism overall. Especially in light that the KGB did a pretty good job of infiltrating and subsiquently infesting the priesthood of the Russian Orthodox Church, Ukrainian Orthodox Church, Bulgarian Orthodox Church, Romanian Orthodox Church, et al.<BR/><BR/>And besides... we Catholics have known for years that this garbage was going to take place.

He left the priesthood, they got married - but she refused to leave her religious community.
